Description
Sri opened DATAREST-264 and commented
Currently accessing a resource will list all properties of a resource. However in certain cases, clients would be interested in certain properties of a resource. Of course, client would know about available properties of a resource through 'resouce/schema' feature of SDR. One way SDR could be enhanced to spit out only requested properties through parameter, say fields.
Ex. /resource?fields=prop1&fields=prop2.... should only JSON with prop1, prop2 ...
This could be applied for resource listing too.
Not sure if my request contradicts REST principles in anyway, but this feature is very helpful to our use case
